Why Am I Having A Strange Smell In My Nose?

I have been having a strange smell in my nose for about 6 weeks. I thought I had bad breath but apparently not. I have tried not to think about it but it just appears. I can still smell other smells but this one always returns. it is not offensive, but quite distinctive. I had never heard of this until I typed it in tonight and am surprised that it is not all in my mind? Should I see my GP about htis?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having strange smell in nose. This can be seen in diseases of the nose like atrophic rhinitis or in infections of nose and Para nasal sinuses.
Hence this requires evaluation by a doctor preferably by ENT doctor to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
